Rapid KL New Four-Car Trains To Arrive Next Week

Rapid KL New Four-Car Trains To Arrive Next Week :After successful testing in December with enthusiastic reception from commuters, the first batch of Rapid KL’s new four-car trains will soon be a regular feature of our city’s monorail.

The first of Prasarana’s additional new 14 sets of new generation Innovia 4-car train for LRT Kelana Jaya Line will be arriving at Port Klang next week.

The new trains will be put into service with the opening of Kelana Jaya LRT Line Extension Project (LEP, which is scheduled in the middle of next year.

âUnder the Kelana Jaya LRT LEP, which is currently in progress, Prasarana has procured fourteen (14) additional sets of train in order to meet the projected subsequent increase in ridership.

âThe supply of new 4-Car trains has been contracted to Bombardier Hartasuma Consortium (BHC). The trains are assembled in Kingston, Canada and the first train was shipped to Malaysia on 18 October 2015.

“These are the latest generation Innovia model coming out from Bombardierâs manufacturing line, where we are among the first client. We now await its arrival next week,â said Haji Khairani Mohamed, who is the CEO of Prasarana Integrated Management and Engineering Services Sdn Bhd (PRIME).

The use of the four-car trains marks another milestone in Prasaranaâs continual effort in the transformation of Klang Valleyâs public transport services as the new trains are aimed at significantly reducing the waiting time for passengers.
